Worship
We all worship something. Whether it's God, money, fame, pleasure – whatever or whoever we give highest worth to in our daily life – that's what we worship. As Catholics, we are called to place Jesus Christ at the centre of our lives and worship God alone. He becomes the lens through which we see the whole world. We invite you to join us in our worship.
